kokoisiksi

Kokoisiksi is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the translative plural of the adjective kokoiset, meaning “into sizes” or “as sizes.” It is used to indicate a transformation into a particular size category or designation of multiple items as belonging to different size classes. In practical terms, kokoisiksi appears in contexts where objects are described as being altered or specified to exist in various sizes.

Etymology and structure: The form is created from the plural stem kokoiset (the plural of the adjective kokoiset, meaning sized or of a certain size) plus the translative suffix -ksi, which marks a change of state or designation. The result kokoisiksi conveys a shift into multiple sizes, rather than a single size.

Usage: Kokoisiksi is most commonly found in technical, marketing, or inventory-related writing where multiple items are categorized by size. It can also appear in descriptive prose that discusses size transformations. Examples include: “Esineet voidaan tilata eri kokoisiksi.” and “Laatikot voidaan valmistaa eri kokoisiksi.” These sentences illustrate converting items into distinct size categories.

Notes: While not everyday vocabulary in casual speech, kokoisiksi is a standard example of Finnish translative plural formation and illustrates how adjective-based size descriptions adapt when describing changes affecting several objects.
